Composition and Dynamics of the Sonosphere Along a Soil-Surface Ecotone at an Agricultural Site in Northern Italy: A Preliminary Approach

Geosciences
Investigating the sonosphere can serve as a valuable proxy for understanding various ecosystem processes. Consequently, an ecoacoustic perspective broadens our capacity to understand how airborne sounds interact along an ecotone at the soil surface with ...

Testing infrared camera surveys and distance analyses to estimate feral horse abundance in a known population

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
We tested the use of high‐resolution infrared (IR) camera technology and distance sampling analyses to estimate abundance of feral horses (Equus caballus) during 2015–2016 in the McCullough Peaks Herd Management Area, Wyoming, USA. Infrared technology is

Characterizing Species at Risk II: Using Bayesian Belief Networks as Decision Support Tools to Determine Species Conservation Categories Under the Northwest Forest Plan

Ecology and Society, 2006
We developed a set of decision-aiding models as Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) that represented a complex set of evaluation guidelines used to determine the appropriate conservation of hundreds of potentially rare species on federally-administered lands

Analyzing individual rent price ratios in eastern German agricultural land markets: A GAMLSS approach

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the rent price ratio in agricultural land markets, crucial for evaluating market efficiency, policy needs, and farmer decision‐making. Traditionally, the analyses faced challenges due to the absence of concurrent sale and rent data for the same land, potentially leading to biased results.
